If you want to designate a different credit card or there is a change in credit card validity or expiration date, you may do so by following the instructions posted within that particular subscription-based service’s domain. PLEASE NOTE: Your subscriptions will be automatically renewed unless terminated, and your credit card will be charged for the subscription fees according to the type of subscription-based service. Unless otherwise specifically stated, the renewal charge shall be equal to the original price of the subscription-based service, unless we notify you in advance. Your right to use the subscription-based services is subject to any limits established by us, subscription service provider or by your credit card issuer. c) Unable-to-be-processed Payments: If we are unable to process your credit card at any time, your account may be immediately suspended or terminated and you will remain responsible for all amounts payable by you to us.
